dangers that make your band slip


Recommended Posts

i was banded 4-7-08, was wondering, what makes a band slip? can you tell if your band has slipped? is that repairable if it has? can you feel it if your band slips? what are the absolute no, no's to keep your band from slipping? is your band not sewn in to place?

just wondering and needing to know what to avoid :huh:

Hello,

It takes alot for a band to slip, based on the consult with my surgeon and a video demonstration on You Tube...the stomach is stitched around the band.

But it can slip...vomiting is probably the worst culprit...so ensure that you have anti-nausea medication on hand. If you eat or drink the foods that you have been advised not to....it can stretch the smaller stomach pouch and could possibly cause the band to move or slip.

Be good to your band and it will be good to you!

Take care Cathy
